Prove It [Undergoing Construction]

Chapter 22

 

Soon enough everything that happened was forgotten. That’s how the rest of the week went by. Kai taught me how to breakdance and we hung out in general. We became really close. I trusted him. he was understanding. I learnt how to windmill, baby step, I even learnt how to flare. Still trying to conquer the jackhammer, but hey that’s not the point, the point was I’m learning fast.

 I showed Kai the tree. He showed me his beat boxing skills, and he can also make numerous gunfire shoots, sirens and alarms it’s actually really awesome. He can even mimic tones. Like so well, that it’s terrifying.

We pranked Grace a lot too, scaring the living daylight out of her. I kind of also told him about Bruce last night. He seemed hesitant to tell me something, but he never said anything. I let it slide.

At school we talked about everything and I took pictures, that we make me laugh. I still feel like I’m getting stalked, but I put it behind me. At night, Bruce taught me more self-defence and he also taught me how to ride a bike, which was so scary it felt good. It made me feel, alive, adrenaline rushing in my blood.

In return I taught him how to pick basic locks, and gave him a few tips. Last night when I went to our meeting place, he wasn’t there. Didn’t even see him nor did he answer my messages or even call. I was worried. Did I do something wrong?

But yet something seemed to be bothering him the whole time two nights ago. I never got to know what. Veronica stayed away, and stopped messing with me. Except for those glares I receive from her every time Kai and I walk by.

Today was Sunday. Tonight, was the night that I’ve been dreading and trying to push back for the whole week. Tonight was the night my dad returns home and I really don’t want him to be around, he only makes things so much worse. My mum gave me cold and hard stares all week. Which I basically just learned to ignore.

I woke up today on the wrong side of bed. I really have this bad feeling about today. I got up, had a hot shower, trying to calm my nerves. Didn’t even help much. I wore my black jeans, tank top and combat boots. Threw on a dark green jumper and Luke’s snapback, well mine now. I left my hair down, it fell in waves down my back.

I pocketed my inhaler and pocketknife, grabbed my camera and got ready to go to Kai’s place. Today, is going to be the longest day of my life. I seriously need to watch my back. I felt someone’s gaze burning holes through my back.

I walked out of the house and walked to Kai’s. Half-way there I felt, Kai approaching me slowly. “Boo!”

“OH god I think I peed in my pants.” I mumbled sarcastically. “Ha-ha…”I could feel his gaze on me, I tried to look away, he always knows.  “Gabriella? Are you okay?”

“Y-yeah…” I muttered.

“Don’t lie to me, are you afraid that your dad’s coming back tonight? You can stay over if you like.” Yeah I told him everything. He just listened and comforted me, he was very understanding. Who know right?

I sighed; I can’t just keep doing that. Running away from my reality. My life. “No, I’ll be fine.” Kai stopped and grabbed my shoulders. I looked away.

“Gabriella look at me.”

I looked up, “fine you can go home tonight, but I swear if you don’t call me every half an hour, I’ll personally come to your front door. Got it?”

I stiffened before opening my mouth to protest. “Wait no! Don’t even come near my house.” I cried out, this is bad I know for one thing my dad won’t be happy. He’ll probably kill him.
